Dr. MJ Wixsom

Veterinarian / Owner

Before entering the veterinary field, Dr. Wixsom spent four years at the United States Coast Guard Academy. She was one of the first 14 women to graduate from any U.S. Academy. After five years of active duty including Commanding Officer on two ships, a knee injury sidelined her career at sea. She decided to return to her childhood dream: veterinary medicine and animal care. LTJG Wixsom went back to school during her last tour of duty to receive a second Bachelor’s degree in biology and then headed off to veterinary school to earn her Doctorate and Masters of Science in Veterinary Parasitology.
